Abstract
The argument in this essay is that both space and time are far more complex than a simple sense of how one locates oneself in space, or of how one constructs urgency or delay through discourse. Space‐time structures life, and thus impacts discourse in unseen, unfelt ways. This essay establishes a framework for interrogating space and time through brief explorations of discursive events. The essay argues for a reorientation from logos to nomos in the exploration of space and a reorientation from a linear logic to a cyclical multi‐dimensional perspective in the analysis of time.Keywords
